Memorial Record of Western Kentucky, Lewis Publishing Company, 1904, pp 611-612 [Christian] C. C. REYNOLDS, deceased, was for more than two decades a respected and successful farmer of Christian county, Kentucky. He was born in Cumberland county, Virginia, January 10, 1849, and was reared and educated there. In 1872 he came to Christian county, Kentucky, where a few years later he married and where he passed the rest of his life in agricultural pursuits. He was a worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He died in 1897, leaving a widow and four children. Mrs. Hattie (Hopson) Reynolds, his widow, was born on the farm on which she still lives in Christian county, in January, 1849. Her father, Edward Hopson, also a native of this county, was one of its best known and most highly respected farmers. He died here at the age of fifty-five years. Henry Hopson, the grandfather of Mrs. Reynolds, came to Kentucky from North Carolina and made settlement in Christian county at an early day, he being among the primitive residents of the county. Mrs. Reynolds' mother was before marriage Miss Eliza Willis, who was born and passed her life in Christian county, and who died here at the age of forty-four years, in 1861, leaving a family of seven children, all of whom reached adult years. Of this family only two are now living, Mrs. Reynolds and her brother Charles, who resides with her. Mrs. Reynolds was reared on the home place, a fine farm of two hundred and sixty acres, and here, in 1875, she married C. C. Reynolds, at whose death, as above stated, she was left with four children, two sons and two daughters, namely: Fannie L., wife of Hurbert Cox, of Hopkinsville, Kentucky; Anna May and Edward, at home; and John, of Paducah, Kentucky. Mrs. Reynolds is a member of Shilo Methodist Episcopal church. Reynolds Hopson Willis Cox = Cumberland-VA NC McCracken-KY http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/christian/reynolds.cc.txt
